Dr. Joel Joseph S. Marciano Jr. giving opening remarks and presenting current research and development projects of the DOST-ASTI.

Six (6) Japanese and four (4) Filipino researches presented their respective studies during the one-day workshop. They also answered and entertained queries related to their researches from the audience after their presentations.

Prof. Hiroyuki Arai of the Yokohoma National University discussing the Theory of Characteristic Modes and its ApplicationsMar Francis Guzman of the DOST-ASTI talks about the Reduction of Antenna Misalignment and Polarization Mismatch Effects using Selection Diversity Scheme and Polarization Reconfigurable AntennasProf. Jiro Hirokawa of Tokyo Institute of Technology presenting his study on the Design of Sidelobe Suppression using Slit Layer in a Corporate-feed Waveguide Slot Array Antenna of 2x2-element Radiating UnitsGenedyn Gems Mendoza’s talk on Mode-Reconfigurable RF Power Amplifier with Independently Controllable Fundamental and Second Harmonic Output ImpedancesDr. Satoru Kurokawa from the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology discussing his research on Microwave MeasurementDr. Lawrence Materum of De La Salle University talking on Evaluation of Techniques for Identifying Multipath Wave Propagation Groups by Bayesian Information Criterion Model-Based ClusteringAntipas Teologo on Datasets for Multipath Clustering at 285 MHz and 5.3 HHz Bands Based on COST 2100 MIMO Channel Model

The researchers also had the chance to tour around the Philippine Earth Data Resource and Observation (PEDRO) Center Facilities housed in the DOST-ASTI office, led by the Dr. Marciano and Science Research Specialist Joven C. Javier-- both part of the team that developed Maya-1 nanosatellite.

The speakers were awarded a plaque of appreciation as a recognition to their significant contributions on the fields of antennas, propagation, radio frequency and wireless communications systems.
